Madden NFL 12 Rookie Ratings: Top Quarterbacks

[GaryT531]

I will boldly predect that Colin Kaepernick emerges as the best QB to come out of this class.

Re: Madden NFL 12 Rookie Ratings: Top Quarterbacks

I've always thought Ryan Mallet would be a solid if not above average quarterback in the NFL. He has all the tools in my opinion. But, potential doesn't always pan out. I think all of the ratings are accurate as of right now.

[bmj2k7]

It amazes me that EA always puts who goes 1st as who will be rated higher, Ryan mallet had a better chance of going top 10 then maybe only Cam Newton, who i think it will be funny when there in the Andrew Luck sweepstakes when they only win 2 games this year. But if Mallet goes 8 overall he's probably a 76 ovr, but since he went in the 3rd round he's a 69, only Gabbert and Newton(speed and throw power, not much else) were better than Mallet. Now the Pats do have trade bait, which Brian Hoyer as a coveted backup, who teams want, or Mallet a 1st round talent, they could trade either one and get top picks for either, but i bet Mallet stays bc he stands in the pocket and has a cannon arm, maybe a 98 throw power when this game releases. I just dont see how they have so many qb's rated above him when he was clearly better than those ahead of him.

Ill admit ive never really understood the hype on gabbert though. I watched the nebraska-missouri game since it was on last night and he was underwhelming. I guess he has potential though

Re: Madden NFL 12 Rookie Ratings: Top Quarterbacks

Yeah, I agree Mallet got shafted a bit. Off topic, I think the ginger from TCU or Mallett will end up being the best QBs from this class, although I think Cam will be fine in the NFL too.

yup and not many folks know about him.

IMO I think he is the fastest QB in the league right now...he has a long stride but is still deceivingly quick. Vick seems to have slowed down a bit.

I hope he has a 90 something speed rating ..I mean look at the kid, almost everyone else on the field looks slower. I know this is college, but the guy is fast. And he had one of the strongest arms in the draft.

The thing I love about this kid so far is his confidence. Everything he has said in interviews has impressed me. If the 9ers have a true QB competition, I expect Colin to win it. Alex has never won a legit QB competition with my 9ers.

Colin Kaepernick
Gore/Kendel Hunter (kid plays amazing on the field)
Vernon Davis/Walker
Crabtree/Ginn etc

looking forward to having Kaepernick, with Gore, Hunter, Dixon in the backfield

I'm not sure if you heard or not, but you don't got 2-14 with good head coach and a gameplan.

John Fox was a decent coach in his time in Carolina, but last year he and his staff where a lame duck coaching staff with the lockout looming and the Panthers trying to get their house in order to come out sparkling after it was over.

I'm not going to rehash this hole argument again, but to sum it up Carolina will turn it around quickly thanks to a hole lot of talent and a better game plan.

for some reason, i like how cam's structure looks in the picture. spot on.

What will Tyrod Taylor ratings look like?

Re: Madden NFL 12 Rookie Ratings: Top Quarterbacks

A lot of love for Mallet in this thread, kind of disturbing. The guy is a good QB, but a lot of that had to do with the players around him as well as Arkansas had a great stable of WRs, as well as a great running game.

Locker was projected as the #1 pick in 2010 if he had come out...he dropped to 8th in this past year's draft and people act like he is awful or something. Give me a break.

[24]

Mallet was the most pro ready QB coming out of the draft he should be at least a 71-74. the fact that ponder was gifted with a 73 boggles my mind. needless to say regardless of what team i pick in franchise mode Ryan Mallet will be my starter

[bmj2k7]

What talent does carolina really have, a rooie head coach, a couple bad and overate QB's,. Deangelo Williams will be gone in the next week or since the only thing left is for the players to say yes to the new agreement and he's the most sought after free agent running back available, people were even trying to trade for this guy last year so they wouldn't end up in a bidding war for him, steve smith has already demanded a trade, and teams do want him, no no running threat or passing threat when those 2 are gone. Peppers is gone no no real pass rush anymore, and a average secondary, but a very good LB core. So a rookie QB and a eookie head coach, with all there best players gone, no run or passing threats, besides Newton and Stuart, a average d-line, a good Lb core and a ok secondary, thats questionable at times is going to start to in now, NNNNNOOOOOOOO i don't see that coming. Even almost if not all the analyst think carolina will have the No 1 pick in next years draft bc there nothing great or winnable about this team, especially when your by far the worst team in your devision, where you will get sweepted by the Saints, Falcons and Bucs, so that 6 losses right there, and Newton will start slow so add atleast 2-3 more losses, honestly if they win 4 games it shouldn't be considered a bad season for them!

Re: Madden NFL 12 Rookie Ratings: Top Quarterbacks

Wish him the best of luck in SanFran, but Colin won't look nearly as fast on Sundays... There's a huge jump in athleticism/speed between the WAC(**giggles**) and the NFL..
